Abstract:Though fiber reinforced thermoset composites exhibit excellent rigidity and strength while being lightweight, they suffer from low toughness and brittle failure, which is unfavorable. On the other hand, fiber reinforced thermoplastic composites are good energy absorbers, damage resistant and recyclable; however, these materials exhibits insufficient rigidity. As a solution, the interlayer hybridization of glass fiber reinforced thermoset (GTS) and glass fiber reinforced thermoplastic (GTP) composites is propos… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
